All-Clad Slow Cooker - A Hit For Most Kitchens


With winter weather on its way in many parts of the world, it’s a time to think about the old slow cooker favorites; comfort food that’s perfect for warm dinners at home when the cold and wind outside makes a trip to the local cafe seem almost unimaginable.

With a slow cooker, your meats, vegetables, stews, and even desserts can be ready when you are. Why try to put together a meal after a long day at work? Instead, choose a quality slow cooker from several All-Clad slow cooker models, dig out your favorite recipes (or research some tasty new ones), and you’ll soon be enjoying hot, gratifying classics like casseroles, stroganoff, and meats that fall off the bones after hours of unhurried cooking.

Choosing the best All-Clad slow cooker for you will depend on your needs. All are highly rated, attractive sitting on your countertop, and capable of delivering unbelievable results; the choice of models is simply up to you: The Deluxe slow cooker has a large 7-quart capacity, but perhaps its best feature is the ability to use the cast-aluminum insert that you can also use on top of the stove.

Brown your meats or vegetables, then assemble other ingredients and move the insert back into the cooker. The result will be recipes with more amplified flavors and intricate mixes of ingredient textures; there’s no need to dirty a second pan and the savory bits left from browning will make it into the dish (the best part for those cooking and consuming).

The slow cooker uniformly heats and cooks its contents for just a few hours or even all night and day long for perfect pot roasts, rich and thick stews, and absolutely luscious and satisfying soups. You can even serve right from the insert at the table and cleanup easy as it’s dishwasher safe. The exterior is also attractive with its stainless steel finish, sturdy and secure riveted handles, and digitally displayed settings that are easy to see and program.

The Deluxe All-Clad slow cooker (offered exclusively by Williams Sonoma) is definitely worth the investment. It’s sure to bring years of chef-quality masterpieces to your home, whether it’s dinner for the family around the dining table, or a bowl all for yourself in front of the fireplace. The 99009 model All-Clad slow cooker is almost as equally impressive. It’s a bit smaller with a 6-1/2 quart capacity and features a ceramic insert instead of cast aluminum, but it’s still a hit in most kitchens. There are three temperature settings (for slow roasting to quicker heat ups), a glass lid that lets you monitor progress without letting the heat or steam out, plus the riveted stainless steel handles that don’t break like those made by other manufacturers.

You’ll trust your All-Clad slow cooker for years to come. The company was founded nearly 40 years ago when metallurgist John Ulam began producing these high-quality bonded cookware pieces for professional chefs and aspiring chefs working at home. It’s a brand that continues to be held in high regard, and the only cookware manufacturer that still uses American metal and craftspeople to construct their sought-after product.
